From bonded labor to Minister of Labor. AP congratulates Dilli Chaudhary on his appointment as Nepal's Minister of Labor. Dilli is the founder of Backward Society Education (BASE), an AP partner since 2008. Dilli's parents were bonded laborers and he led a successful national campaign to outlaw the practice. Dilli is seen here during a visit to Washington in 2011 with Chantal Uwizera and Karie Cross, who served as AP Peace Fellows at BASE. Visit these pages for more on BASE's advocacy.
